How can I use the wishbone to find silver for Frostner before Bonemass?

To find silver for crafting Frostner before defeating Bonemass, you will need to use the wishbone, a key item dropped by Bonemass. However, there is a way to obtain silver earlier by using the wishbone from a previous boss, The Elder. Defeating The Elder grants you the swamp key, which allows access to sunken crypts in the swamp biome. These crypts contain iron, which is essential for crafting the iron pickaxe needed to mine silver.\n\nFirst, ensure you have defeated The Elder and obtained the wishbone. The wishbone is a drop from The Elder and is used to detect hidden silver veins in the mountains biome. Before heading to the mountains, prepare adequately by crafting frost resistance mead or obtaining a wolf fur cape. The mountains biome is extremely cold, and without proper protection, you will take constant freezing damage.\n\nOnce you are ready, head to the mountains biome. The wishbone will start beeping and emitting green particles when you are near a buried silver vein. The beeping will increase in frequency as you get closer to the vein. Use your iron pickaxe to dig down into the ground where the wishbone indicates. Silver veins are typically buried deep, so be prepared to dig extensively. Once you uncover the vein, mine it to collect silver ore.\n\nA common challenge is dealing with the hostile creatures in the mountains biome, such as drakes, wolves, and stone golems. To mitigate this, bring a strong weapon like an iron mace or bow with frost arrows. Additionally, consider building a small shelter or portal near the mining site to store your silver and quickly return if you die. This will save you time and effort in case of an unexpected death.\n\nAfter collecting enough silver ore, return to your base and smelt it in a blast furnace. You will need 10 silver, 10 ancient bark, 30 iron, and 5 Ymir flesh to craft Frostner. Ymir flesh can be purchased from Haldor, the merchant found in the black forest biome. Frostner is a powerful weapon that deals frost and spirit damage, making it highly effective against Bonemass and other enemies.\n\nIn summary, to find silver for Frostner before Bonemass, defeat The Elder to obtain the wishbone, prepare for the cold in the mountains biome, and use the wishbone to locate and mine silver veins. Be cautious of hostile creatures and consider setting up a portal for convenience. With Frostner crafted, you will have a significant advantage in the fight against Bonemass.
